Anyone try V8 after surgery? How did it work out? Good? Bad? Thinking a healthy alternative when not hungry and already have Protein in...

I buy the 11.5oz cans by the case from Sams. I liked it before and like it now. Usually take a can to work with me and drink it throughout the morning.

I had a V8 around 7 or 8 weeks post op and it was fine. I sipped slowly and only drank about 1/3 but I had no problems with it.

Great - thanks! It doesn't hurt or make you feel overly "full"?

No problems when I drank it. I also like V8 fusion lite and V8 Splash diet for a juice that is low calorie. I had unflavored Protein Powder to the fruit juice varieties and that is good.

Hopefully it's ok (I'm 2 weeks tomorrow) I tried it a week ago and it seemed like it might have been a little to spicy but I have been drinking a 5 oz can everyday since. It's only 30 cal and it makes me feel like I'm eating. For me it goes right down no resistance.

V8 is a pretty good choice for the fruit and veggie servings. However, keep an eye on the sodium.

I'm about 2 weeks post sleeve and had my first V8 Low Sodium today. It's taken me almost 2 hours to drink 12 oz. I guess it's due to the consistency, but it's annoying. Hopefully as time passes it will get easier, because I love V8.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
